Design Concepts River Angler

Stock # 181938
2004 Design Concept River Angler 19. Chevy 350 300HP Gasoline Engine with 475 Hours, and a Honda Kicker 10HP Engine.

The 2004 Design Concept River Angler 19 is a purpose-built inboard jet fishing boat engineered for shallow-water rivers, technical runs, and serious freshwater angling. Known on the West Coast for rugged aluminum construction and dependable jet propulsion, this model is especially popular in California river systems where low draft, durability, and precise handling are essential.

Powered by a fuel-injected Chevrolet 350 V8 with just 475 original hours, this River Angler delivers strong low-end torque and responsive throttle control—ideal for navigating current, gravel bars, and tight channels. The marine-powered single-stage jet pump provides safe, prop-free operation and excellent holeshot performance in skinny water.

This boat is well-equipped for multi-species fishing, trolling, and all-day river use, with a comprehensive electronics and accessory package, weather protection, and a highly desirable custom tandem-axle Design Concept trailer (second axle added for improved stability and load distribution).
